Baba Dining Experience

Small, calm and personal: exposed brick and simple furnishings inside, and a courtyard to eat in. Intimate rather than lively.

Getting There

Calle del Conde de Romanones 5, in the Sol area of Centro. Entry is through an unmarked gate with a courtyard behind it, so it isn't a place you spot from the street.

Nearby

Embajadores is old working Madrid, dense and unpolished, and it rewards anyone willing to walk its side streets. The eating runs from taverns that have been there for generations to newer rooms doing something quite different. El Rastro spills through it on market days, and Lavapiés is the same conversation continued uphill.
